I was challenged to do “whatever it takes” last night @ Crackers Comedy Club in Broadripple. The challenge was to do 3 minutes of stand-up comedy in front of a huge crowd. I was really nervous but it was all for a good cause — people were asked to come and donate canned food items for Gleeners Food Bank here in INDY!

Comments Off on Back From Vacation | Posted by on August 25, 2009

So yes I made it back from my vacation with minimal sunburn (on my side under my arm — don’t know how it happened but it did.) Been asked a lot if I picked up any French — 2 words – SORTI (exit) and MERCI (thank you) and that’s it!! I probably should have learned more but I didn’t…too much effort ESPECIALLY for being on vacation. If you have any tips for my next trip to France please let me know so I can sound half-literate.

I found article in Reader’s Digest and we talked about it on the show this morning…pretty interesting….

13 Things a Burglar Won’t Tell You

1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.

2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.

3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste … and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.

5. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.

6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don’t let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it’s set. That makes it too easy.

7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom—and your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.

8. It’s raining, you’re fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door—understandable. But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather.

9. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don’t take me up on it.)

10. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet.

11. Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids’ rooms.

12. You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it’s not bolted down, I’ll take it with me.

13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you’re reluctant to leave your TV on while you’re out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.com.)

Comments Off on Have To Lose Weight! | Posted by on August 24, 2009

Is it just me, or does everyone do this? Every weekend, I go out to eat and end up gorging myself with food and feel horrible by Sunday night. I always say to my wife, Liz, “I’m gonna start working out again on Monday”.

About 6 months ago, I worked out for the first time since what seems like High School. When I graduated at age 18, I weighed in at 180 lbs…and 6 months ago, I was about 270 lbs. I worked out and started eating right and dropped nearly 50 lbs in the end result. Like most people, I slowly started eating something fattening or full of sugar and fell off the wagon.

I figure by writing in this blog, I will hold true to my word. I vow to not eat any sweets anymore and work out 3-5 days a week (cardio). There ya have it, it’s etched in stone.
